Pros:

Truly a pocket picture printer. Lots of fun. No ink required.
Highly portable. Photos are water- and scratch-resistant. Peel-off back turns photos into stickers.
Prints in color without ink; pocket-size design with integrated battery; can print wirelessly from Bluetooth devices

Cons:

Image output is mediocre at best.
Photos are only 2 by 3 inches. Color quality is good enough for small-size photos, but less than ideal otherwise.
